Mosima Mpho Ngoasheng comes to the interview in a fetching red dress. She runs Sheeqliving Interiors, a name that derives from "chic".  It is not exactly rocket science that she is passionate about fashion, a fact she readily owns up to. "It hasn't always been interior design," she says of her business.   "We started many years ago importing shoes from Thailand, Türkiye and all those places." She still had a corporate job then.   "Shoes were a side hustle. And from there we felt the market wasn't responding very well. We quickly evolved into interior design. At some point we even did events," she says. In 2003, they boldly launched into interior design, which allowed her the creativity she enjoys, and in 2018 she started working full-time in the business. "It was very easy for me to transform spaces," she says in response. She did not study interior design: "My background is in commerce.   "And I th...

Moments before an orchestra performs, when silence falls over the audience and the baton is raised, the conductor expects every fibre of each musician to be channelled towards playing their instrument as impeccably as possible.  During the performance, the conductor is a channel, drawing out the best from the musicians, funnelling their collective effort into presenting a unified sound to the audience. Ofentse Pitse — the first black female conductor to own an orchestra — has a complex task. She frequently conducts Western classical instrument players performing contemporary South African musical repertoires, but has other plans.  "I want to be a conductor rooted in Africa that highlights African orchestrations and music," Pitse says between rehearsals for her latest orchestral project. On stage, Pitse uses a combination of conventional conducting techniques which she's learnt from various mentors, including Dutch conductor Gerben Grooten. The signs and gestures s...

Naomi Osaka has candidly admitted her difficulties in coping with losses as she reflects on her recent performances, calling 2024 a "learning year" following her exit from the US Open. The four-time Grand Slam champion returned to the court this year after a maternity leave, welcoming her daughter, Shai, last year. However, the transition back to professional tennis has proven challenging. Osaka faced a first-round exit at the Australian Open and was ousted in the second round at both Roland Garros and Wimbledon. While she showcased some promise with a straight-sets victory over 10th seed Jelena Ostapenko at the US Open, her journey came to an abrupt halt against Karolina Muchova, who defeated her 6-3, 7-6 (5) in the second round. Reflecting on her latest loss, Osaka expressed her emotional turmoil: "It's a little rough because I do take these losses really personally. It's like a dramatic word, but I feel like my heart dies every time I lose." Her openness ...

The ANC Women's League (ANCWL) has expressed outrage at the brutal murders of two women in Limpopo, calling the incident "the worst form of gender-based violence."  The victims, a 45-year-old South African woman and a 35-year-old foreign national, were allegedly shot and thrown into a pigsty on a farm in Sebayeng, outside Mankweng. The alleged perpetrators, farmer Zachariah Olivier (60) and his two employees, Adriaan de Wet (19) and William Musoro (45), have been arrested and are facing multiple charges, including murder, attempted murder, and possession of an unlicensed firearm.  "We cannot begin to comprehend the pain and suffering that the families are enduring," said the ANCWL in a statement.

Social media has become the gold rush of the digital age. Content creators, entrepreneurs, and even everyday individuals are building successful careers and lifestyles by sharing their lives online. The ease of access, global reach, and potential for monetization make social media a powerful tool for building a brand and generating income. However, the allure of this digital landscape comes with a dark side. Sharing too much of your life on social media, whether for personal or professional gain, can have detrimental consequences. One of the most significant risks is identity theft. With your information readily available, cybercriminals can easily steal your personal details, impersonate you, and commit fraud. According to Keeper Security, "A person's social media profile can share personal details which can help cyber criminals steal their identity." The constant exposure also makes individuals vulnerable to cyber harassment. This can range from online bullying to more ...

For many South African families, the joy of welcoming a new life is accompanied by the financial realities of parenthood. The cost of raising a child from birth to 18 years can easily exceed R1.6 million, placing a significant burden on middle-income households. Planning and budgeting are crucial to managing these expenses, and the journey begins even before the baby arrives. Antenatal visits, essential baby items, and the cost of childbirth itself contribute to a significant initial outlay.  Recent mothers, Kay Maharaj and Rachel K., share their experiences: "Our private GP visits alone reached R3,500, while antenatal classes and pregnancy essentials cost an additional R2,300," said Maharaj, highlighting the early costs. "Antenatal consults and scans added up to over R15,000, excluding delivery costs which averaged R32,500 for both natural and caesarean births in private practices," added Rachel K. The financial demands continue after birth, with essential baby it...

Mia Le Roux, the first hearing-impaired woman to win the Miss South Africa pageant, is a testament to the power of embracing individuality and defying societal expectations. While she's now known for her grace on the runway and her dazzling smile, Le Roux's journey to the crown wasn't always paved with glitter and glam. Growing up, she was a self-proclaimed tomboy, embracing a playful and adventurous spirit. "When I was in primary school, I was such a tomboy," she shared with News24. "I wanted to be Spiderman. I wore my brother's Spiderman suit all the time." While her early years were marked by a love for superhero adventures, Le Roux's journey took a transformative turn as she grew older.  She started experimenting with her mother's clothes, venturing into the world of dresses and stilettos.  However, this foray into femininity didn't come without its challenges. As a hearing-impaired individual navigating a world designed for those who...

The energy sector is undergoing a critical transformation towards cleaner, more sustainable solutions.

In the ever-evolving narrative of gender and success, there is a growing recognition that success and femininity are not mutually exclusive. Today, many strong, successful women are choosing to embrace traditionally girly clothing and feminine aesthetics, challenging outdated stereotypes and redefining what it means to be powerful. These women are not only making strides in their professional fields but also asserting that femininity can coexist with strength and leadership. Historically, professional success has often been associated with a more masculine presentation. The business suit and minimalist aesthetic were once seen as essential for womxn to be taken seriously in the workplace. However, this notion is rapidly changing. Strong, successful women at the top of their game are embracing their femininity, demonstrating that wearing dresses, glossy lipsticks, and vibrant colours does not diminish their capabilities or influence. A movie role that exemplifies this is Reese Witherspo...

Lula Odiba, daughter of the late legendary radio icon Eddie Zondi, has revealed that she was terminated from her TV job at Channel O's Groove via SMS. The news came as a shock to the popular presenter, who expressed disappointment over the impersonal nature of the notification. "I was informed of my firing due to budget constraints," Odiba shared with listeners on her show. "While I understand that things happen, a phone call or an email would have been more appropriate." Confirming the SMS dismissal to ZiMOJA, Odiba declined to elaborate further, stating that her manager advised her against commenting on the issue. Despite this recent setback, Odiba continues to advance her career. In June, she announced her departure from Y (formerly YFM) after five years to join 5FM, where she now hosts 5 Lunch on weekdays and the new 5 Hip-Hop Nights on Sundays. Odiba's father, Eddie Makhosonke Zondi, was a beloved South African radio personality known for his soulful mu...

The wait for justice is a torturous journey for a mother in Alexandra, Johannesburg, whose 10-year-old son was allegedly raped by a traditional healer.   Haunted by the trauma her son endured and the ongoing threat from the accused, she lives in constant fear, her faith in the justice system dwindling as the trial drags on.

The accused, a Sangoma, has been behind bars since his arrest, but the prolonged legal process fuels the mother's anxiety.

Nomthandazo Cele, a resident of Ivory Park in Tembisa, finds her life in limbo due to a glaring error in the government database that incorrectly lists her as having a criminal record. "I did not commit any crime," Cele asserts, emphasizing the distress this situation has caused her. The issue came to light when Cele attempted to renew her Professional Driving Permit (PDP) and was informed that she could not proceed due to a pending criminal case against her. "They told me that they couldn't assist me and advised me to go and inquire in court," she explained. After obtaining a note from the court confirming her status, she was finally able to continue with the renewal process. Cele expressed her frustration, stating, "I am unable to do many things that normal people do because of this problem." Her troubles began back in 2020 when she was wrongfully arrested during a police raid on her boyfriend's rented room in Enkangala, near Bronkhorstspruit. Du...

In a landmark ruling, Judge Geriet Muller has sentenced the accused to direct life imprisonment, declaring them unfit to possess firearms. The decision comes as a significant measure of justice in a case that has captured public attention.

A non-profit organization, Save Our Girls, has launched a case in the Johannesburg High Court against Zimbabwean journalist Rutendo Matinyarare, alleging that his tweets encouraging sexual relationships with underage girls constitute a form of paedophilia and violate South African law.   The group argues that the current legal framework, which sets the age of consent at 16 while defining a child as under 18, creates a loophole that effectively legalizes paedophilia. Sandra Chinyanya, deposing for Save Our Girls, highlights the concerning trend of viewing sex with young girls as a cultural norm in some African communities.  "Paedophilia has an unfortunate history in African culture, with some African men believing that sex with young girls cures diseases, promotes longevity and makes their businesses profitable," she states in her affidavit. The case specifically focuses on a series of tweets by Matinyarare, who boasts over 53,000 followers on X, where he openly expressed his ...

At the launch of the "More Than a Mother" campaign organized by the Merk Foundation at Avani Lodge on Wednesday, speakers emphasized that infertility is a pressing issue affecting both men and women. The campaign aims to educate the community on the sensitivity surrounding health issues and the importance of proper reporting. In sub-Saharan Africa, infections account for up to 85% of infertility cases among women seeking care, starkly higher than the global average of 33%. Traditional, cultural, and religious practices, combined with limited resources, contribute to non-genetic and preventable causes of infertility. These include poor nutrition, untreated sexually transmitted diseases, unsafe abortions, and complications from female genital mutilation. Neo Masisi, the First Lady of Botswana and ambassador for the Merk Foundation, highlighted the role of social media in combating infertility stigma. "This training will help the media, academics, and the community understa...
